I have been a pet sitter since 1995. I am careful and fastidious about caring for pets. I love animals of all kinds. I had dogs, fish, hamsters and guinea pigs growing up. Currently my husband and I have two cats. In home pet sitting is far less traumatic (and safer) to your pet than being in a kennel setting.
